Kate who was shot by photographer Koray Birand for the net-a-porter feature said: 'I love being 30,

Kate and Michael met when he directed her in Big Sur in 2011, talking about falling in love she said: 'There are so many things that just clicked for us. It’s like, what
didn’t draw us together? It feels as if we have known each other our
whole lives, even though he is 12 years older than me. But it feels like
he’s been there every step of the way. And he is a great mentor to me,
artistically.'

The couple plan to marry next year in a 'not the norm' ceremony 'involving whisky', and for fashion fan Kate the wedding dress reportedly designed by by Oscar de la Renta was a long-deliberated decision: 'There
was no doubt about the designer, [but] there was a feeling of, "Do I
dance around the bridal thing and wear a dress I could wear for the red
carpet?" But lately I’m all about coming out of my comfort zone and
challenging myself, so I decided to embrace the moment.

'It has been a
real discovery of that part of myself. I have never thought about it –
the dress, the ring, any of it.'
